Seafoam Green is a paint that Benjamin Moore produces, style number 2039-60. I find it easy on the eye and love to paint it on benches that can be placed around the garden.
It glows in shade and offers depth, lengthening shorter perspectives.
It is a cheerful color that brightens gray winter days and looks fabulous garnished with fluffy snow. (I didn't have the heart to post a pretty snowy picture today...I have had enough!)
It integrates foliage like no other color I can think of, from fresh spring greens through to the russet tones of autumn.
Plants sporting glaucus tones; blue-silver-purple all at once are happy company; Cerinthe major var purpurescens and Rosa glauca are two that come to mind. Plummy purple Cotinus atropurpurea, blackened Sambuscus nigra, creamy variegated Weigela florida variegata and all the chartreusey Euphorbias offer striking companionship.
Seafoam green is green leaning more towards blue, but not quite. I think that is why it looks stunning in all settings, in all seasons. It's its own color, yet lifts the garden to another dimension.
